But Merkel’s security arrangements overshadow everything as she prepares to visit Athens

Long-suspected of having massively enriched himself at the
Greek Ministry of Defence, Vlassis Kambouroglou has found dead in hotel
room in Jakarta. Local medical authorities suggest that Kambouroglou
committed suicide.Kambouroglou was alleged to have been aware of – indeed an active
participant in – the corrupt Defence Ministry under the PASOK government
between 1997 and 2001. At the time, the Ministry was purchasing large
consignments of German munitions, aeroplanes andIn addition, Vlassis Kambouroglou had in the best been in the
spotlight concerning Russian arms deals under Boris Yeltsin, as well as
earning huge profits in cooperation with Arab weapons merchandisers.Principally, however, Kambouroglou was accused of being party to the
bribery and money laundering network involving former Defence Minister
Akis Tsochatzopoulos. He was the managing director of Drumilan
International, which was involved in the sale of a Russian-made TOR-M1
missile system to Greece. Called to testify before a parliamentary
inquiry into the arms deal in 2004, Vlassis Kambouroglou denied that
his company made any money from the deal. No charges were brought
against him.Lagarde’s List continues to terrify politicians from Surrey to St
Petersburg. Feeling the heat more than most, PASOK leader Evangelos
Venizelos is now insisting that he was not informed last year by his
predecessor as finance minister Giorgos Papaconstantinou that the latter
had been given a list containing the names of almost 2,000 Greeks with
large deposits at the Geneva branch of HSBC.

Armed forces continue to surround the city of Bani Walid, Libya.
As tension between neo government troops and opposition supporters continues
to mount, residents have been left without food and other supplies --
and are calling on the UN for help. The siege of Bani Walid
started because the National Congress wants to arrest the suspected executioners of the man credited with capturing Colonel Gaddafi.The
town refused to hand them over, but the siege is too strong a response
exposing the government's weakness, says journalist James Corbett. Source

Brandon Smith:If you want to set up a global government, you have to have a global
tax. It's not about creating funding so much as it is about
manipulating mass psychology. Forcing the citizenry to pay a global tax
to a "global" entity conditions them to think in terms of global
bureaucracy rather than sovereign government. It also lures the public
into accepting the idea of faceless international institutions as a fact
of everyday life, rather than an abstract concept they hear about every
once in a while on cable news. Taxation is power. Power over the
financial life of a people, as well as power over the perceptions of
that people. The fact that the UN is now openly pursuing it's own
taxation over the world reveals that there is an immediate intention to
attain such power. They can disguise it as a tool for "saving the
environment", or putting an end to "wealth imbalances", but ultimately, a
UN tax is a UN tax. The question we need to ask ourselves as Americans
is; regardless of the UN's stated intentions, do we want to answer to
them? Source

Submitted by Tyler Durden: Whether you believe China is an economic miracle - or a government-sponsored fraud; and can ignore the broken growth model or believe that the CCP can bailout the world; Michael Pettis, of China Financial Markets, provides a much-needed dose of reality for bulls and bears when it comes to the future of the global growth engine. After summing up (and laying-waste to) the three mainstays of China bulls' arguments:
he asks the three toughest questions any China bull must be able to
answer. Analogizing China's position perfectly he cites Mills: "Panics
do not destroy capital; they merely reveal the extent to which it has
been previously destroyed by its betrayal into hopelessly unproductive
works." Simply put, the bull argument cannot ignore the hidden bad debt.

There seems to be a worried resistance to the idea that we may have reached a major and difficult transition.
The unwillingness to acknowledge the difficulty of the transition,
however, can only make the transition all the more difficult.

You just can’t make this stuff up.Late last week, a bill HR 6566 was introduced on the floor of the US
House of Representatives. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I read it.The bill is entitled the “Mass Fatality Planning and Religious Considerations Act,”
and its stated purpose is “[to] amend the Homeland Security Act of 2002
to require the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency
to provide guidance and coordination for mass fatality planning…”Hmmmm. Homeland Security. FEMA. Sounds like a fun party.The bill was introduced a week ago, but it took the US Government Printing Office until this morning to actually make the text available to the public.It turns out that my weeklong wait was for nothing. The bill itself
is just a handful of paragraphs that merely reiterates the title… that
the cracker jack team over at FEMA should be prepared to respond to mass fatalities in the United States, and to account for religious burial differences.This is just one of those things that makes the stomach turn: the
people who brought us the National Defense Authorization Act
(authorizing the detention of US citizens on US soil) now deem it
prudent to prepare for mass fatalities on US soil…Moreover, they’re outsourcing it to one of the most failed government agencies in history.

Julian Assange was absurdly smeared in a New York Times piece by William
Neuman and Maggy Ayala. The report stooped as low as making reference
to a claim that Assange did not flush a toilet, as if that were somehow
relevant. The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks down this shoddy
journalism.Source

By Jennifer Waters:Your right to resell your own stuff is in peril It could become illegal to resell your iPhone 4, car or family antiques.

Tucked into the U.S. Supreme Court’s agenda this
fall is a little-known case that could upend your ability to resell
everything from your grandmother’s antique furniture to your iPhone 4.

At issue in Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley & Sons is the first-sale
doctrine in copyright law, which allows you to buy and then sell things
like electronics, books, artwork and furniture, as well as CDs and DVDs,
without getting permission from the copyright holder of those products.

Under the doctrine, which the Supreme Court has recognized since 1908,
you can resell your stuff without worry because the copyright holder
only had control over the first sale.

Put simply, though Apple Inc. AAPL-2.13%
has the copyright on the iPhone and Mark Owen has it on the book “No
Easy Day,” you can still sell your copies to whomever you please
whenever you want without retribution.

That’s being challenged now for products that are made abroad, and if
the Supreme Court upholds an appellate court ruling, it would mean that
the copyright holders of anything you own that has been made in China,
Japan or Europe, for example, would have to give you permission to sell
it.

“It means that it’s harder for consumers to buy used products and harder
for them to sell them,”

By Alexander Higgins:Spain's police state has spiraled out of
control as riot police are now running throughout the streets beating
everyone in sight, men and woman, young and old.When the people
demand democracyfrom an oligarchy that rules their subjects trough the
strong-arm of a totalitarian police state the streets fill with the
madness and mayhem seen in this video.

Dear Reader

Are YOU Involved or Institutionalized? Our belief that the global economic crisis would persist and deepen is being vindicated and current events are now as clear as ever on the matter. Time for all of us to wake up, stand up and be counted or continue to lose all our liberties. Protect your homes and families. The sun will still rise but financial chaos and suffering due to the global fascist banksters' greed and corruption, slaughter due to the MIC's directed world wars in our name etc. is not pretty. We are feeling the effect on our society the size and like of which we have never known.

We are way past being surprised at the blanket suppression of this information by the BBC and main stream media propaganda machines. Information is clearly available elsewhere and unchallenged, accounts for a far more realistic rendition of what we have actually seen and what we continue to see develop, whilst the main stream news put out leaves many confused and bewildered, 99.9% of us wrong footed and the awakened indignant. As we can now see, the apparently 'soft fascist' powers that be aim to block these alternative avenues of information. Book up, "Long Live the Evolution."Feel free to copyme. Angelo Agathangelou.

P.S. The MHRM, are calling out the constant misinformation disseminated by and maintain our open challenge especially to western radical feminists, to point out just one area where government in the UK, Europe or anywhere else in the English speaking world disadvantages women and girls when compared with men and boys, ...the wage disparity myth having long been debunked by serious academics and statisticians. So far this challenge has remained unanswered. Western feminism is obsolete.

N.B.

These pages exist because we believe information from all perspectives should be aired, they do not necessarily reflect our views unless explicitly stated. We do not intend to cause offense, but we feel there is a need for such a shift in our society that to call it change rather than evolution would be an understatement. A velvet revolution towards living with reality for the individual, the family and society. A revolution towards living within our means and taking responsibility for ourselves, instead of mortgaging the future of our children to bloated leech faux democracy for the benefit of Ponzi 'banksters' and The Military Industrial Complex.
